Containers (section)

Data can be managed from the Containers section, which contains the following tabs:

Containers

Storage settings

Operation history

Usage

When you upload an archive file with the Upload archive icon (1), its contents will be automatically extracted to a new container with the same name as the original archive. Cloud Storage currently supports tar, tar.gz, and tar.bz2 formats.

public - publically accessible containers for distributing site and application content without authorization

private - containers for storing backups and other data and that require a login and password to access

You can cancel the creation process by clicking Cancel (the X icon).

Containers (tab)

The Containers tab displays a list of existing containers.

To mange a container's settings, click the options icon and then select Container settings from the drop down menu.

From this menu, you can also download a container and its contents as an archive or delete it.

Files

The Files tab lists a container's contents. You can upload files and folders by either clicking the upload icon or dragging your files to the drop area.

Container Settings

Under Container settings, you can set the container type and limits, as well as create an upload link and bind or remove a domain.

Storage Settings

Under Storage settings you can limit a container by file size, file count, or date and purge the CDN cache for specific web addresses.

The CDN caches data for quick distribution and is updated daily. If a file is modified, you can force a cache update by entering the web address to be cleared and clicking Purge cache. The cache will be updated approximately 15 minutes after the form is submitted.

Operation History

Operation logs can be generated and downloaded under Operation history.

You can generate reports for various periods of time by choosing the period from the drop down menu and clicking Generate report.

Reports can be renamed, copied, moved, and deleted.

Usage

A breakdown of resource usage and expenditures can be viewed under the Usage tab.

Costs are calculated hourly for the actual storage space used and traffic sent over the general network or CDN.

Example 1

15 GB of backup data is uploaded to a container. The monthly storage cost would be:

15 GB x ₽ 1.40/GB=₽ 21

Example 2

If in one month we transfer 20 GB of data over the CDN while keeping 15 GB of data in storage, the cost would be:

15 GB x ₽ 1.40/GB+ 20 GB x ₽ 1.20/GB=₽ 45

You can calculate service costs using custom parameters with our price calculator.

Users

The Users section displays a list of users who have container access.

You can add a new user by clicking New user.

Enter a username in the field and click Save (the check mark icon).

You can generate new passwords or view existing ones if you have enabled password storage on Selectel servers.

Access to each container is configured individually: read and write permission can be granted separately.

Balance

Available funds can be viewed in the Balance section.

In the new window, you will see the amount available in your main balance, cloud storage balance, and bonus balances.

Funds can be transferred between balances. For example, to move funds from your main balance to your cloud storage balance, select Main balance under Source, enter the amount to be transferred, and click Transfer.

You can also set up low-balance alerts up by entering a sum in the field, setting the alert frequency, and clicking Save.

SSL Certificates

SSL certificates let you protect data by sending it from the browser to the server over HTTPS. Available certificates can be viewed in the SSL certificate section.

You can upload any valid pem file containing the certificate, intermediate certificates (if they exist), and private keys. Certificates can be self-signed or released by an agency (such as letsencrypt.org). Certificates will activate within 5 minutes of being uploaded.

Accessing Cloud Storage over https

Objects that are uploaded to Cloud Storage containers can be accessed over https with a public LCDN certificate.

Users can also upload their own certificates if they plan on accessing objects from a custom domain name. This can be done by opening the list of links to the desired files in your container and adding your certificate in the Main domains field.
